Know before you buy
Yes, the frame is crafted from FSC-certified solid teak, which is naturally resistant to moisture and decay. To maintain the wood's original color, you may choose to apply a teak sealer, otherwise, it will gradually weather to a soft, silvery-gray patina over time.
The 100% Olefin performance fabric is designed for outdoor use with excellent UV and water resistance. For routine cleaning, you can spot clean with mild soap and water, and we recommend storing the cushions indoors or using a protective cover during heavy rain or the off-season to prolong their lifespan.
Yes, the Merit Venao Chair features a stackable design, making it a practical choice if you need to save space on your patio or store them away during the winter months.
The chair is built with webbing seat construction beneath the cushions, which provides a flexible, supportive base that maintains its shape and comfort over time.
The Merit Venao Chair arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use, so you can enjoy your new outdoor space right out of the box.
The woven panels are designed to mimic the aesthetic of natural rattan while utilizing durable, weather-resistant materials suitable for outdoor exposure. This provides the sophisticated look of cane furniture without the maintenance concerns associated with natural fibers outdoors.
